About PushPress

PushPress is building the Intelligent Industry Ledger for boutique fitness. We’re transforming how boutique gyms operate — and how the entire $100B fitness industry connects, transacts, and grows. We’re evolving from a traditional business system of record into an AI-powered Industry Ledger that unifies operators, workflows, and data to enable faster decisions, new business models, cross-gym collaboration, and network effects for studios in our client base. We’re a global team of builders, operators, and fitness enthusiasts on a mission to level the playing field for fitness entrepreneurs.

About the Role

We are looking for a strategic Events Lead to drive end-to-end event strategy — from intimate field activations to large industry conferences. You will curate and develop memorable experiences through thoughtful, performance-driven events that engage our target audience and drive measurable pipeline. This role requires creative and operational excellence: designing thoughtful experiences, managing complex logistics, and collaborating with Sales, Growth, and Product Marketing. You’ll lead the development and scale of our flagship industry event and strengthen PushPress’s position as an industry leader.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the planning and execution of a diverse portfolio of events, including trade shows, conferences, field marketing activations, and the flagship industry conference.
• Co-own the end-to-end event lifecycle: venue sourcing, vendor management, booth design, run-of-show development, speaker coordination, promotion, and post-event reporting.
• Partner with Sales to define goals, drive registrations, and convert attendees into qualified opportunities.
• Build experiences aligned with persona-based journeys and GTM priorities to create pipeline and accelerate deal velocity.
• Establish an annual and quarterly events roadmap mapped to business goals and GTM campaigns.
• Develop KPIs for each event and ensure data hygiene and attribution integrity in tools like HubSpot to report on event ROI, CAC, and downstream pipeline.
• Analyze past performance to optimize future events and improve targeting, engagement, and revenue impact over time.
• Manage a small but growing team of event marketers and coordinators.

What You’ll Bring

• 5 years of experience planning and executing B2B events across formats and sizes, including national conferences and experiential field events.
• 2 years of team management experience leading or mentoring other event professionals.
• Proven track record of events that drive measurable business results: SQLs, pipeline, ARR.
• Experience scaling and owning a company-owned industry event or user conference.
• Strong background in event logistics and operations, with extreme attention to detail and fluency in managing a logistics handling tool (or agency Sendoso).
• Strategic thinker with creative event design skills and a strong understanding of how events support brand and revenue goals.
• Proficiency in tracking/project management tools (Asana, Notion, or equivalent) and CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce).
• Experience working in fast-paced startup environments or high-growth SaaS is a strong plus.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience or passion for fitness and/or fitness technology.
• Previous experience leading a team at a startup.

Benefits

• Health Care Plan - Medical, Dental & Vision
• Retirement Plan - Company Sponsored 401k with Match
• Life Insurance
• Unlimited Paid Time Off (and Public Holidays)
• Family Leave - Maternity, Paternity
• Work From Home Stipend
• Equity Incentive Plan
• Company Issued Laptop
